I often have trouble falling asleep, and much of the time the difficulty is worsened by a sudden, sharp twitch or jerk somewhere on my body, just at the moment I finally begin to nod off. Originally I assumed the cause to be caffeine-related, but I've had the twitching even during times when I haven't partaken in anything stronger than fruit juice for days!
I've found what helps immensely is stretching. If I get a twitch in bed, I immediately get up and do a bunch of stretches. Then, when I get back under the covers, I almost always fall asleep immediately, problem solved!
